Black Freight (T. Green & R. Hughes) (Schizo) Maybe it's the cadence of the drums. Maybe it's the cadence of the drums. Maybe it's the cadence of the drums, make me feel we are one make me feel it's something greater than the slums hard for me to put it in words, it's innate maneuver with such grace I gotta come from something great black human freight with a cleared slate trying to make sense of it all I don't know if i'm a black Hebrew, possibly it make sense in the search of the truth, honestly Think about it, could we be a cursed people? Destined to be slaves. Begging to be saved. I don't care what the rest of em say Anyone can be turned. Put them in the right space with a burner and what do you get? A bunch of wild pieces of... With nothing to lose, and nothing to gain all i'm saying, it's common sense young heathen used to be prince now he looking at the world through a barbwire fence (Chorus) Africa is my descent and here i'm far from home I dwell within a land that's meant meant for many men not my tone (Schizo) Why My African brothers and sisters, stay tryna diss us like we ain't got the same blood in us and why we ashamed to be called them? Ask yourself why you hate to be called dark skinned. We are kin. Hate ya color, hate ya hair, hate yourself and your past Hate ya nose, hate ya lips, & your attitude trash We supposed to be the mothers of Earth but we abort at 3x the rate of anyone else, what are we worth? $350 ain't worth your soul. Common said that. It's crazy how it don't get old How many times fathers don't get told Got no choice. Suck the life how you and they got no voice You know you dead wrong. (Chorus) Africa is my descent and here i'm far from him I dwell within a land that's meant meant for many men not my tone (Ron Donson) I was born a black baby to a black moms from the mother of the earth from a rich land of worth I embrace the culture I don't hate the culture all my people do it is disgrace their culture it's a damn shame but it is what it is all I can do is drop jewels to the kids all I can do is just show em how to live and hope a 3 to 5 don't show em how to bid cause its hard being black let alone wit felony look in the mirror. see ya worst enemy negative energy it flows thru the hood it's never good why not do whatcha should but you rather look cool, rather you a fool you need an education  I don't mean from a school so I came back just to give you the tools to make it out the jungle you gotta know the rules

Mercy Me 03:30
Mercy Me (T. Green & R. Hughes) (Chorus) whoa, mercy mercy me Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no Where did all the blue skies go? Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east (Schizo) Try not to have a pessimistic outlook on the situation It's like, if our youth is any indication We may as well quit now, a crazy situation cuz to be completely honest I ain't really got the patience Chicago is a breeding ground for all the nations wasted Pull the hammers out and blast without a hesitation and all them aspirations, are sounding outrageous Basic women having basic kids it ain't changing As a girl I used to want to try and save the world But as a woman i'm realizing isms are plural Racism is the least of my concerns when black women still afraid to be w/o a perm No ring and multiple kids, settle for anything Three generations in the hood, there are plenty things worse than a white man, hatin on my skin color Man look at these mexicans, they really support each other All we do is kill each other, buy things we can't afford we never create nothing, make babies and abort What is really going on, where are all the blue skies I don't even dream of them anymore to my surprise What a pitiful fate, what a tragic demise They don't want me to say it. They would rather me lie So let's sweep it somewhere. Somewhere that we can hide So we don't have to hold the mirror up to our eyes (Chorus) whoa, mercy mercy me Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no Where did all the blue skies go? Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east (Ron Donson) Its gettin' so ridiculous the menacing and ignorance Children lackin' innocence, colder than refrigerant but im bolder. Imma soldier imma get it in .. and imma give it to you straight like a shot of gin . imma open up ya mind imma show u what is real all you do is destroy imma show u how to build imma show you what its like, to go beyond space and time. to a place where ya mind evolves into a sacred shrine. and even though I always been a loner I been going thru a lot of changes now that i'm a grown up  my thoughts shine brighter than the colors in the spectrum cutting pieces of ya brain dissecting it in sections I've come from the essence from a alternate dimension to present the evidence of new world deception I hope you get the message, and understand the lessons a blessing in disguise if you pay close attention (Chorus) Whoa, mercy mercy me Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no Where did all the blue skies go? Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east (Schizo) After all is said and done we still here. Probably be my last stand on my soap box for fear, I'm wasting my breath. I bet it's fallen on deaf ears. This been going on for years, so it's perfectly clear. (Ron Donson) Through the blood sweat and tears we still made it hated and discriminated against but no longer intimidated I gave you food i hope you ate it leave ya brain stimulated so pass it on keep em educated (Schizo) It's gon take more than rhyming some words, I'm never disillusioned. I don't know what I'm doing no longer willing to try May be part of the problem as if I'm holding the gun Couldn't say where to start. I don't know where to run (Ron Donson) I know you tired but you ain't the only one we gotta work together just to make it out the slum and way it is  got me saying mercy me like Marvin say things ain't what they used to be (Chorus & Scratching) Woo ah, mercy mercy me Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no Where did all the blue skies go? Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east

Soular Maximum (R. Hughes) (Ron Donson) my composition shatter the competition assault and batter the opposition and leave you splattered across kitchen of course i'm gifted and i'm rather vicious wreaking havoc under all conditions delete the fabric over all existence  it doesn't matter there are more dimensions that I travel to  gather data  thats far beyond ya comprehension I need a challenge no time for the talk and chatter my mind is above the average its time to release the kraken wit extreme information i'm feeding the population receiving the calculations and easing em out the matrix readin the constellations taken it to the max relaying my observations breakin into the facts In fact i've come back just for you people trapped to show em how to act and the wisdom people lack to show em that the evil lurks between the cracks and how to travel back into the solar max (Chorus) Eclipse flare blind ya eyes Pull the wool away from ya face, you didn't even know to my surprise you been deceived with lies. And now you asking why. And now you asking why. And now you asking why. (Ron Donson) My rhetoric  theoretic element depict evidence of the devilish nemesis and predict prophetic-ness always fit for excellence his eminence metaphysics carries life like a surrogate I'm here to handle business startin' from the genesis until the very finish the ignorance get replenished within every lyric i'm just a man wit wisdom my measurements are causin cataclysms you cant imagine how I'm havin visions Crashin like a mass collision liven past provisions never making rash decisions always  asking questions  now I'm given answers  i got a big advantage its like i'm spittin cancer when my rhythm hits the canvas i'll leave the bridges damaged  & let disaster run the world couldn't manage without my last appearance then imma tear it up and imma rip the planet disappear vanish back to the solar maximum (Chorus) Eclipse flare blind ya eyes Pull the wool away from ya face, you didn't even know to my surprise you been deceived with lies. And now you asking why. And now you asking why. And now you asking why.

Dreamer 03:28
Dreamer (T. Green) (Schizo) Uninspired like Aretha, natural woman I'm the keeper of the flame, I am Nina, I am Tina, I'm Serena Im A Different World Lena. I figured in a sense, that I'm in love with a legend but Im married to a prince, and I've smoothed them rough edges of my journey ever since. Forgot forgave and I have been behaving ever since. And I have been here waiting ever since. Hiatus from the traitors I been grinding like The Clipse. How you satisfy the soul of an under achiever who just wanna watch the sun rise and set in the evening. Or maybe you don't even try to oblige the heathen. Or maybe you just breathing is wiser than you believing. A beautiful scene for breakfast. Dope rhyme with a message. Living in the essence. Sacrifice to heavens. Always be a dreamer. Forever be a dreamer, but I bet I spark the mind of a actual achiever. A leader. And Pac taught me that and I believe him. There gotta be some knowledge left in me than I can feed them. I couldn't ever join 'em but I bet you I can beat 'em cuz a dreamer always realize a dreamer doesn't need 'em. Bet it back, I can make it pay off like per diem. Picture me inscribed on the walls of mausoleums. And possibly In 50,000 years, if the earth is still here, they can you into a world of a dreamer (Chorus) 2x All I ever been was a dreamer I don't need no money or no beamer I am back. Will you come with me, huh? I Came back. Will you come with me, huh? (Schizo) Goodbye to times i've wept. Hello to cousin of death Numbers lie, people change like the faces of meth I figured I could make a difference I was sleepin I guess And I don't even feel a little guilty leaving this mess Emotional at my worst, but i'm a dreamer at best one thing about a dreamer never settle for less Alway spreading my message. Through the drought & recession Didn't stress the depression. Never question the weapon life is precious Seen the greatest fall from grace Stumble right before the finish line the end of the race couldn't ever be me. I would fall on my sword Before I ever let this crazy world strip my awards Cuz a dreamer always realize a dreamer doesn't need 'em Picture me immortalized in poems that I read 'em And possibly in 50,000 years if the Earth is still here, they will know I came back I didn't leave 'em (Chorus) Repeat 4x All I ever been was a dreamer I don't need no money or no beamer I am back. Will you come with me, huh? I Came back. Will you come with me, huh?

Reflections 03:36
Reflections (T. Green & R. Hughes) (Ron Donson) I remember way back when I used to sell 8 by 10s wit dreams of sittin in dat Maybach benz but now that I'm more older I've more wiser  30 years old but my soul got Alzheimer's I seen the sacrificing of my culture the vultures spread  propaganda  thats disguised as a poster I used to do a whole lotta nothin drinking and drugging, bugging, on the road to destruction. but from my transgressions came progression I coulda been crushed by a fatal weapon but I'm touched wit a angels blessing. now I'm savoring the flavor of victory my melodies rip the beat no matter if its hip hop or symphony  I'm on a higher plane blending wit higher entities and came back to spread the information  they have given me Imma make history you dudes ain't saying .. to me while i instantly unravel unknown mysteries you dudes ain't saying shit to me while I instantly unravel unknown mysteries (Chorus) 2x I reflect on my life until now I reflect on how it used to really go down I reflect like the mirror. And shine like the sun I reflect on my life and how it used to be once, and... (Schizo) Should've could've would've the regrets of a slacker If I could, I'd go back, like a maverick time traveler heard "Git Up Git Out" (Get Something) and did nothing 10 stacks a year on college and didn't study To sum it up, I was young and dumb without a care I couldn't see past my 20s my 30s is like I'm here student loans up the rear, Sally Mae is in my ear, no career and to pay these loans off it'd be years Only regret the fears. Only regret the time wasted Goals of me graduating turned into me dream chasing Didn't even finish that. Even that is seeming wasted should've stuck with something. That is one thing that can't be debated Something that I wanna say. Talkin is the only way so I rap on, rap on word to Isaac Hayes About a thousand ways I could think of time better time spent wish I could get a gift that would pay the rent (Chorus) 2x I reflect on my life until now I reflect on how it used to really go down I reflect like the mirror. And shine like the sun I reflect on how it used to be. How It used to be. (Ron Donson) Hindsight is 20/20 so looking back on my life I know I was a dummy my days were never sunny I was getting money living lovely till I got hit wit a bid. Now I'm liven wit a bunkie but I was lucky got my mind right and made a path.. A late bloomer, but they always say save the best for last I remember when I was peddlin for extra cash living on the ave I kept my stash in a separate bag now i'm in a better class, mind on a different level smokin on a L getting high off a cigarillo thinking bout how I was a child up in a ghetto and almost had my soul signed off to the devil imma rebel who will never settle for less I just kick incredible text thats ahead of the rest I'm goin off like a space rocket wit great logic and my third eye  optic stay watchin (Chorus) 2x I reflect on my life until now I reflect on how it used to really go down I reflect like the mirror. And shine like the sun I reflect on how it used to be. How It used to be.
